FCKY UEPH Barracks CM@Risk

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Louisville District, is issuing a Request for Information on construction of two Unaccompanied Enlisted Personnel Housing Barracks at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, with responses due October 13, 2026 by 1200 PM ET. The Government intends to procure design and construction services under a Construction Management at Risk delivery model using Other Transaction Authority (10 U.S.C. 2808a), not subject to standard FAR-based small business regulations.

The estimated acquisition magnitude is $205 million. Each barracks will accommodate 260 personnel. Design is complete at 100%. The Government seeks contractor feedback on the CM@Risk approach prior to formal solicitation, specifically on a two-phase execution plan: Phase 1 comprises preconstruction services (constructability reviews, value engineering, open-book pricing, and Guaranteed Maximum Price establishment using MCACES 2nd Generation cost comparisons); Phase 2 transitions the contractor at-risk to execute construction under the GMP, with the Designer of Record retaining design liability while the contractor assumes responsibility for layout, schedule, and trade coordination.

The RFI solicits responses addressing 23 questions covering firm qualifications, OTA and CM@Risk experience, innovative technologies, risk allocation, bonding capacity, subcontracting strategies, and recommendations for optimizing the acquisition approach. Responses must not exceed 10 pages (excluding company brochures or standard profiles) and be submitted via email to Ranzel Merideth (ranzel.l.merideth@usace.army.mil) in PDF format. This RFI is voluntary and non-obligatory; no contract award will result, and the Government will not reimburse preparation costs. Participation does not affect ability to submit a proposal in a future formal solicitation. NAICS 236220; PSC Y1FC.
